Chapter 87 You Know Exactly Who Did It

“Mr. Gallard is right. There is indeed no hospital that is willing to accept a doctor with a criminal recordlike me.” Nathen had a displeased expression on his face.

“It is rare that Mr. Dudley thinks highly of me and gave me a chance to work here. I went to look for himat noon to thank him for this matter.”

Avery sneered. “Everything you said sounds perfect. If you want to thank Mr. Dudley, why did you go tothank him this afternoon? Why didn’t you go earlier?”

Darlene wanted to stop Avery from continuing, but Nathen spoke again, “I really don’t understand whyMr. Gallard, you suddenly became dissatisfied with me, and you still keep asking me about mywhereabouts today.

“But I just started working here today. I chose to go to Mr. Dudley’s office at noon because it was resttime. As for why Mr. Gallard said it was so coincidental, I don’t know what kind of coincidence it is.”

Avery obviously could not remain calm, especially when he looked at Darlene, who was anxious toprotect Nathen. Avery’s unwillingness to give up surged up.

“Dr. Elicott, do you think that I can’t do anything just because the surveillance in the underground parkinglot is damaged…”

Darlene coldly interrupted Avery, “Avery, don’t say such disgusting words here. If you can, go and bringthe evidence first. After putting the evidence here, you can start your

ridiculous speculation.”

Nathen seemed to have understood something. He looked at the wound on Avery’s face and thebandage on Avery’s right arm. “After saying so much, is Mr. Gallard suspicious. of me because he wasinjured?”

Nathen closed the medical record folder in his hand, and his fingertips tapped on it lightly. He wasobviously suppressing his emotions. “Then I have really let Mr. Gallard

overestimate me.”

Darlene felt apologetic. Although Avery’s nonsense had nothing to do with her, it was also because of herthat the matter would involve Nathen.

Darlene lowered her voice and apologized, “Dr. Elicott, sorry that we troubled you. His words arenonsense. You can go back to your work first. Take it while listening to a

mosquito’s buzz.”

Nathen’s expression was not good. After a moment of silence, he looked at Darlene. “This matter reallyhas nothing to do with me.”

Darlene nodded. “I know. Of course, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t take it to heart. Go and do yourwork first. He is just talking nonsense. It is not worth arguing with someone like him.”

Avery was so angry that his face was tense. “Darlene, what do

you

mean?”

A nurse came in to call Nathen. Darlene repeated, “Dr. Elicott, you go to work first. I’m really sorry forcausing you trouble.”

Nathen frowned slightly, but he did not say anything more and went out first.

After returning to his office, Nathen closed the door and leisurely sorted out the medical records of thepatient whose wards he was going to check.

Nathen clenched his palm and pressed it on the desk. His clenched knuckles made at light sound, and asmile appeared on his lips.

So what if he was suspicious of me? What was the use of talking without proof?

It would only make Darlene feel even more disgusted that he, Avery, was being

unreasonable.

In the sick room, Avery still couldn’t suppress his anger.

As soon as Cyrus came over, he ordered in a cold voice, “Find a way to get the

surveillance camera out, Even though the surveillance in the underground parking lot is

broken, we can always replace clues. I don’t believe that it really has nothing to do with

Nathen. It was him last time.”

Cyrus nodded and agreed. “Sir, I will try my best to replace a way.”

Darlene said coldly from the side, “If you want to accuse one of the crimes, you can always replace a way. Ifyou want to put the blame on Dr. Elicott, you will always be able to. replace some clues related to him totestify against him. Even if you can’t replace it, you can make it up.”

Avery looked at Darlene with anger, and after a moment, he said, “Cyrus, you can leave

first.”

When Cyrus went out, Avery stared at Darlene. “You don’t want me to investigate because you knowwho did it.”

you Darlene did not look at him. “I don’t know what you are saying. Whether investigate or not is yourbusiness. If the brake breaks, it may not be someone who did it on purpose. As for Dr. Elicott, he is notso bored.”

Avery sneered, “Don’t shirk for him. Darlene, I can stop investigating this matter. Since I was notseriously injured, I can let it go. But the premise is that he won’t do it again

next time.

“And I have conditions. You need to stay here to treat the illness and cooperate with Mr.

Dawson’s treatment plan.”

Darlene’s face was still cold, but her fingers were subconsciously curled up. In all fairness, afterexperiencing so many things, she had to begin to suspect that there was something wrong with Nathen.

But no matter how problematic Nathen was, he had never hurt Darlene, and he had helped Darlene andNigel a lot over the years.

If not for the medicine that Nathen prescribed, it would have been a problem whether she, Darlene, couldsurvive until today.

Therefore, deep down, Darlene did not want anything to happen to Nathen.

Avery reached out and grabbed Darlene’s curled-up hand. When she frowned and was about to pull itback, he clenched his palm tightly.

“Darlene, many people are not as simple as you think. I found something. Nathen’s

background may not be simple.

“Even Nathen, who you have known for so many years, you may not know his real

background, let alone Gustave. And we have known each other for at least ten years. I’m

the one who won’t do you any harm.”

Darlene was disgusted and tried to pull her hand back. “Let go!”

Avery wanted to negotiate with her properly. He did not want to continue this kind of

confrontation.

Avery softened his tone and said, “I’ve thought about it. Sometimes, I was controlling too much aboutyou. There are a lot of things that I don’t do well. That’s why you feel uncomfortable.

“I won’t interfere too much with your matters from now on. As for the matter of you selling Gustave thecopyrights to TV series and writing the script for him, I won’t oppose it. You should take good care ofyourself. I respect what you mean.”

Darlene felt that it was ridiculous. “Respect? It’s actually such a rare word from your

mouth.”

Avery restrained his displeasure. “In short, no one is perfect. I can change the things that I didn’t do well.I don’t know if you and Mr. Dawson are hiding anything from me, but from today onwards, you have totake good care of your health.

“Since Mr. Dawson suggested changing the heart, I am also thinking of a way to replace it for you. If youchange your heart earlier, everything between us will slowly get better.”

As soon as Avery finished speaking, there were two knocks on the door. Andrew directly brought Vivianin.

Looking at Avery, Andrew said, “Come out for a moment. I have a few words with you.”
